	Terence Rattigan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rattigan would alternate between comedies and dramas, and after the war, a string of dramas made his name as one of the major playwrights of the day: The Winslow Boy (1946), The Browning Version (1948), The Deep Blue Sea (1952), and Separate Tables (1954).
		Rattigan was not a thick-skinned writer and the decline in his reputation hit at his confidence.
		Rattigan lived briefly at The Red House in the Berkshire village of Sonning during 1945–47 and there is a blue plaque recording his stay there, visible from the road.

		Terence Mervyn Rattigan (June 10 1911-November 30 1977) was one of Britain's most important dramatists.
		He was born in London and educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Oxford, and his work to some extent reflects this privileged and intellectual background.
		He was knighted in the early seventies and moved back to Britain where he experienced a minor revival in his reputation before his death in 1977.

	TERENCE RATTIGAN
		To appreciate the tragedy of Rattigan's decline (and Wansell passionately argues that it was nothing less than tragic), we must appreciate the extent of his achievement.
		Wansell's revisionist biography, the first to make use of the Rattigan papers in the British Library, is brisk, thorough, efficiently organized (except for glossing over the plots of plays that few of his readers will have seen or read), and consistently attentive to the experiences and relationships that shaped both the man and the writer.
		Like many of his characters, Rattigan ''lived a life of disguise and concealment,'' presenting himself to the world as urbane and assured while privately suffering a pervasive fear of failure, a feeling that his early success was a fluke.

		This play solidified the view that many already had of Rattigan: "his was the acceptable voice of protest that would not embarrass or annoy those who dictated what was politically or artistically acceptable." Rattigan took to this voice--the voice of the common theatergoer--and he even gave it a name; he called it Aunt Edna.
		Rattigan was reviled in the press and turned increasingly towards movies for his livelihood.
		In death, Rattigan became a national figure, revered as he was in his youth, at the height of his popularity, by the press and public alike.

		Terrence Rattigan's plays are very English and very traditional.
		In some ways Rattigan's plays are more like films on stage, with their detailed naturalism, highly developed subtlety of character and sedentary nature.
		However it's performance could not have been better and it should be recognised and recommended for it's deep and intelligent depiction of characters who for the duration of the play were not characters at all but real, existing three dimensional people drawing real and existing sympathy from a captivated audience.

		Here, scarcely five years after Geoffrey Wansell's Terence Rattigan (LJ 5/15/97), Darlow revises the pioneering 1979 biography he and Gillian Hodson wrote about Sir Terence Rattigan (1911-77), the most commercially and artistically successful British playwright of the period 1936-55.
		A believer in Rattigan's place among the century's most important nonexperimental playwrights, he acknowledges Rattigan's artistic limitations, personal weaknesses, public relations blunders, and constant eye on commercial success.
		Darlow sweeps through Rattigan's life, from childhood as the son of a pompous, womanizing civil servant to early successes on West End stages to later triumphs to disappointment as the younger generation passed him by.

		Terrence Rattigan's The Winslow Boy, brought to the screen once before, by Anthony Asquith in 1950, utters nary a four-letter word in its dry Edwardian dialogue.
		Based on an actual event, it tells the story of an average man who is determined to see that right is done and is willing to sacrifice everything for it.
		Indeed, as Mamet insinuates through gazes and glimpses, the appeal of the case for Sir Robert might be the starchy beauty of Winslow's daughter as much as the disputed innocence of his son.

		When the "angry young men" of the theatre burst onto the scene in the 1960's Rattigan's style of plays became deeply unfashionable.
		Set in New York in the 1930s, the play looks at the relationship between a father and son and is set against a backdrop of love, betrayal and high finance.

	The British Theatre Guide : Reviews - In Praise of Love (Minerva Theatre, Chichester)
		Rattigan enjoyed enormous success with his early plays, but in 1956 the arrival of John Osborne and his Look Back in Anger changed the expectations of theatregoers and critics were quick to point out that these ‘kitchen sink’ dramas were more true to life, now regarding Rattigan’s work as old-fashioned.
		This play was Rattigan’s last before his own cancer claimed his life, and true to his characters he also concealed the seriousness of the disease from his friends.

		Born in 1911, Rattigan had his first West End hit at the age of 25 with "French Without Tears." A few years later, "After the Dance" opened to rave reviews.
		At the height of his career, Rattigan was the highest-paid playwright in British history.

		This is one of those plays where, as the audience, you sit like a fly-on-the-wall to quietly observe the lives of those staying at the Beauregard Private Hotel in 1950's Bournemouth.
		A hotel for both residents and casuals, Rattigan's play look at how the individual each find ways of coping with past failures or disappointments under the watchful, but not entirely disinterested, gaze of the hotel's efficient manageress
		This is a weighty play that sinks or swims on it's dialogue, with no place for the cast to hide behind frivolous stage distractions.

		Inspired by the facts of a real case, Rattigan has crafted a compelling drama which is also a deeply moving tale of passion and politics.

		Based on this true story, Terrence Rattigan wrote THE WINSLOW BOY, now adapted by David Mamet for the screen.
		Rattigan moved the timefrome of his play a few years, to 1912-1914, so that the boy's case would constitute a distraction from urgent issues relative to WWI.
		Rattigan took certain liberties with the characters, transforming the conservative real-life Catherine (with her consent) into a feminist Suffragette (portrayed here by Rebecca Pidgeon, a.k.a.

		One of Rattigan's fellow officers during the war who saw the play when it opened in London was said to have been deeply moved and 'shocked to realize that Rattigan had seen so deeply into us.'"

		David Mamet's adaptation of Terrence Rattigan's drama is a finely polished gem, a story of family honor and the pursuit of justice.
		Working from Rattigan's well-made play, which was based on a real incident, Mamet brings his firmly controlled cinematic style to bear on Edwardian England with surprising results.
		Using his camera like a scalpel, Mamet dissects both British reserve and the unflappable sense of honor that guides the action of the film.

	way to the stars - review at videovista.net
		The Way To The Stars, an original screenplay by Terrence Rattigan (from a story by him and the film's producer Anatole de Grunwald), takes place between 1940 and 1944.
		Although it isn't based on a stage play, it could well be one, as there are really only two locations, the base and the Golden Lion (spot the symbolic name).
		Rattigan pulls a considerable surprise on the audience by killing a major character off very early, but in both cases the tragedy is all the more moving for its understatement.

	The Browning Version (1951)
		Although he never quite achieved the cinematic renown of his brilliant daughter Vanessa Redgrave, the classically trained actor starred in such classics of British cinema as Dead of Night (1945), The Stars Look Down (1939), and Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes (1938).
		This quietly devastating portrait of an unloved British schoolmaster groping towards self-awareness is a gripping model of intelligent restraint and emotional understatement.
		But Macnab's essay on Asquith's life and career takes an insightful look at the director whose 10 films with Rattigan ran the gamut from the family drama The Winslow Boy (1948) to the glossy, all-star production of The V.I.P.s (1963).
